Audien
Audien, the American DJ and producer born Nathaniel Rathbun on 11 January 1992 in Mystic, Connecticut, has built a progressive house and trance career that started when Ferry Corsten's label Flashover Recordings released his first single, Rise & Shine, when Rathbun was just 17 years old. That early signing placed him within Corsten's trance-focused roster from the outset, shaping the melodic, big-room style that has defined his DJ sets ever since.
His profile grew substantially when he received a Grammy nomination in 2015 for Best Remixed Recording for his rework of Bastille's Pompeii, a recognition that extended his reach beyond dedicated trance and progressive house crowds into a wider dance music audience. Audien's French-language Wikipedia entry documents a career built from teenage bedroom production into festival-level DJ bookings, with releases that moved between trance-leaning imprints and more mainstream progressive house outlets as his sound evolved.
His sets typically balance emotive, melodic build-ups with festival mainstage energy, a style consistent with his Flashover roots even as his later production work broadened into more commercial territory. The Grammy nomination remains the clearest marker of his crossover from niche trance circles into broader recognition.
